Research and Planning: Questionnaire Results Analysed

Question 1

The answers given to this question are very helpful as initially we wanted to use fades to black, jump cuts, straight cuts, slow paced and fast paced editing, so we will be using those. The other answers will definitely be considered and most of them probably used as this is what our audience would like to see.

Question 2

We are still unsure whether to use a voice over or not, but as the majority of the audience said yes, it will be discussed within the group and definitely considered.

Question 3

All of the shots suggested in these answers are very helpful; we had looked at using all shots other than canted and high/lows shots of the villain/victim. These are very good ideas and I think a canted angle could be very useful to emphasise certain characters, such as the mythical creatures, to symbolise how strange they really are.

Question 4

The woods are the main location we will probably be using, which was also the most suggested answer. This is very helpful as it shows that the audience like the ideas that we are thinking of. I also like the idea of underground, but I don’t think this location would be achievable due to the lack of resources and the places available to us.

Question 5

All of the sounds/music suggested by our audience are very good suggestions, we have thought of most of these already other than “slow eerie music contrasted with fast paced high pitched music”. I think this will work very effectively and I will discuss it with my group. As it is a suggestion from our audience, it is important that we look into it.

Question 6

The audience have mostly chosen 1^st person, this could be possible for our group to do, but as the audience didn’t know the whole story line, they don’t realise that our story will work better in 3^rd person, therefore we will probably stick with our initial idea of 3^rd person.

Question 7

The audience answers back up our initial plot idea, the three mythical characters will be the main characters and all be female. This is helpful to us as we don’t have to reconsider the plot.

Question 8

I particularly like the idea of increasing pitch or using contrasting music to create suspense within the trailer. I am going to ask the rest of my group what they think about these ideas as I think they could be very effective. All of the ideas will most probably be used, although some are very simple, such as ‘music’ which is going to be used anyway.
